Clio

"Assim aconteceu uma vez a Clio, musa da História que, enfadada da imensa tapeçaria milenária a seu cargo, repleta de cores cinzentas e coberta de desenhos redundantes e monótonos, deixou descair a cabeça loura e adormeceu por instantes, enquanto os dedos, por inércia, continuavam a trama."

Mário de Carvalho, "A inaudita guerra da avenida Gago Coutinho"; uma Clio bem acordada, pintada por Johannes Moreelse.

CLIO // MUSE OF HISTORY

“She is the muse of history, or in a few mythological accounts, the muse of lyre-playing. She had one son, Hyacinth, a lover of Apollo. According to Apollodorus, Clio was made to fall in love with Pierus by Aphrodite, for Clio had derided her for her love affair with Adonis.”

Jan Brueghel I, Wreath of fruit around a representation of Cybele receiving gifts from personifications of the four seasons (mouthful ik)

- abundance, joy, life, animals around, rabbits eating

- babies and cherubs dancing with/on fruit

- light layering of colour

- super vibrant?? how

- light and dark very baroque all fruit lit in the middle with edges vignetted, makes a border on the central image, unrealistic in laws of litht but more effective in the painting. allow self to reduce realism for visual effect

david vinckboons, country fair

clara peeters, still life with cheese almonds and pretzels - could be cool to recreate with my connection to both pretzels AND more recently cheese.

rubens, woman and boy with candles, 1616-17

- style of caravaggio

- unrefined

- brushstrokes allowed to stand and be mottled

- 'unpolished naturalism'

The Dutch masters were ahead of their time, a lot of 17th century Dutch work is much more like 18th or 19th century work from other European countries.
